group-chat.txt
The group chat went to print.
You know the message. Two words, no punctuation, and suddenly the group chat has appointed itself a panel of experts. This imaginary column follows one harmless ‘you up?’ through eleven increasingly elaborate interpretations.
Our final, deeply unqualified verdict: put the phone down, make a snack, and ask what they meant tomorrow. Sometimes a full stop is just a full stop. Sometimes the real plot is the conversation you have with your friends afterwards.
“Okay but what did the full stop mean?”A fictional conversation. No real people, no actual tea spilled.
something-sweet.txt
Something sweet. Very little effort.
For this demo recipe, slice a handful of strawberries and toss them with a little sugar and a squeeze of lemon. Leave them for five minutes while you toast a thick slice of bread. Spoon the fruit and its juices over a generous layer of yoghurt or soft cheese.
Finish with black pepper if you feel like it, or a little honey if you don’t. Eat over a plate, preferably away from your keyboard. This is sample editorial content for the prototype; the December recipe is still under wraps.
- Toast
- Strawberries
- Yoghurt or soft cheese
- A little lemon + sugar
dear-big-sis.emlOne letter for big sis.
You can leave the group chat.
Dear big sis: I keep agreeing to plans because I’m worried people will stop inviting me. Then I spend the whole evening wishing I were at home. Is there a way to say no without turning it into a five-paragraph apology? — An imaginary reader, with a very real dilemma.
Try a small, kind sentence: ‘I’m sitting this one out, but I’d love to see you another day.’ You can like your friends and need a quiet evening. Offer another plan if you want to; you don’t have to present evidence for being tired. This letter and reply are fictional demo copy.
tiny-sudoku.exeA little brain break.
Fill each row, column and 2 × 2 box with 1–4. No repeats.
| 1 | 4 | ||
| 4 | 1 | ||
| 2 | 4 | ||
| 3 | 1 |
Your pencil, your pace.
A little brain break.
A small puzzle for the bit of your brain that has had enough of scrolling. Put the numbers 1 to 4 into the empty squares. Each row, column and outlined two-by-two box needs one of each number, with no repeats.
You can try the mini Sudoku here, check your answer, and start again whenever you like. It is a working demo puzzle for this website preview, rather than a scan or a promise about what will appear in the December issue.
